Опубликовано 21 мая 2024, 13:15

The Mad Max universe is full of crazy characters. The post-apocalyptic world created by director George Miller may be a hostile and dead landscape, but ironically enough it’s fertile ground for the creation of shocking savages, gross grease monkeys, saintly saviors, and all manner of rocking road warriors. And in the latest film in the series, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, Miller explores what can make – and break – such figures. Indeed, sometimes what breaks them is also what makes them in this universe.

With Furiosa, the filmmaker has created an origin story for the title character, played this time around by Anya Taylor-Joy. The film also explores how a bad guy might be born in this harsh future world, via Chris Hemworth’s charismatic crank, Dementus.

While the Furiosa character debuted in Mad Max: Fury Road in 2015, and was played by Charlize Theron in that film, the prequel explores her life from the time that she’s abducted from her family in the Green Place of Many Mothers through her rise to adulthood and eventual ascendance as an Imperator in Immortan Joe’s hierarchy.

But it all starts with the crazed Wasteland cult leader Dementus, who abducts the young girl and treats her as a sort of surrogate daughter. We sat down with the stars of the film as well as Miller himself to fuel up and hash it all out – this is how you create a Wasteland Warrior!
